As you have two DSL connections with two DSL 'modems' why not put two
NICs in the FreeBSD box and attach one to each DSL connection?

Make what ever servers you are running (apache etc) listen for
requests on both (or all) NICs and I think it's job done!

DNS round robin will give some element of load balancing and the request
should be serviced via the NIC and thus DSL circuit they were received
from.

As far as I can see, there is no easy way to dynamically shift loads from
one NIC/DSL curcuit to the other.
